Butternut Squash Risotto ~ An Instant Pot Recipe

There is nothing quite like a steaming hot bowl of creamy butternut squash risotto. It’s comfort food at its finest.

Some people are intimidated by the lengthy stirring process or aren’t sure just how to cook a butternut squash. Neither are difficult and I’ll include my recipe for the traditional method below. However, if you happen to have an Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker) and a can of butternut squash, you can whip up a delicious batch of risotto in about half an hour…start to finish.

This method makes a truly delicious risotto but if you’re in the mood for a more leisurely approach and want to take it up a notch, try my regular version. Personally, I enjoy the stirring process. I put on some music and pour myself a glass of wine then settle in for a half hour or so of leisurely stirring. It’s almost like meditation for me.

But we all have those busy nights when we need to get dinner on the table quickly. That’s why I’m really enjoying my Instant Pot. I have a lot more experimenting to do with it but here are some recipes we’ve already enjoyed:
